Hi Devin,

How would I use the revPrintField to print my text
in a specific area on my page like I can with the
print card commands.

I think your explanation of the print...from print command
is probably what they are talking about.  I was thinking
if was possibly a form where you could print from a file
directly without making it a control etc.  Which would be
nice.

thanks,
